It's been over a month since I sent this and I haven't heard anything
back.

Resubmitting for your consideration.

This patch adds a new depmode called "msvisualcpp-cpp".
This depmode uses Cygwin/GNU's /usr/bin/cpp to compute dependencies
while cl.exe does the compiling.  This is way faster than running
cygpath -u on cl.exe -E's output, and avoids the problems outlined
in http://sources.redhat.com/ml/automake/2001-12/msg00012.html.

However, I'm doing a few things that perhaps aren't so cool... some
input is requested.

As you can see, I test to see if cpp fails by checking if $tmpdepfile
actually got created; if not, I dump the output from cpp's stderr.
Is the 2>cppstderr ok?  Is there a better way to do this?

You will also note that I pass -w -D_WIN32 -D_M_IX86 to cpp.
Is there anything else I need to pass?  I thought I might have needed to
set _MSC_VER, but in my (limited) testing it didn't seem to make a
difference.  Is -w (inhibit warnings) a good idea?  MS Visual Studio
header files produce so many preprocessor warnings that it is impossible
to wade through them all to find the errors, so I just turn off the
warnings.

Another thing to note is that I create the "missing header file" section
a little differently than the gcc) depmod does.  The "tr ' ' '
'" thing does not work correctly for lines that look like (e.g.):

   c:/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Visual\ Studio/.... \

so instead I use a sed script to break on spaces that aren't followed by
\.

Anyways, look it over and let me know what you think.

CC:'s on replies appreciated.
